The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 28 fires within 5 miles of Coal Ridge between 2009 and 2020, burning about 32 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 3 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Belle Valley
• Hoskinsville
• Florence
• Hiramsburg
• Scott (historical)

Museums hold 76 specimens collected within 10 miles of Coal Ridge between 1902 and 1974: 60 Animalia, 13 Plantae, 2 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adler, K. K., Adler, K. K. & Dennis, D. M., Adler, K. K., Tilley, S. G. & Wood and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
